Help with "Smile Smile Smile" (Guitar)

[Alaxandir 93]

Does anyone have any good resourses for learning this song?

I'm a relatively new guitar player with just a month or two of experience but I feel like I can learn this song if I put my mind to it. I've found a few tabs versions out on the internet including the one transposed by iceberg into easier chords.

 

But I feel like I'm just not doing it right; this is my first time playin with a Capo also and I am just looking for some helpful advice on how the best way to go about learning it is.

 

My biggest problem is that the chords I am playing just don't sound right for the song when I play it side by side.. Help please!

Written out by ear, but should be very close to the original.

Part of the problem might be that this song uses a lot of alternate bass notes. I've done my best to point those out.
